Actually what you quoted from article is the DEFICIT not the debt.
and to any intelligent person just shrinking the deficit by a few hundred billion is not cause for celebration since as you correctly point out the net deficit is still adding a trillion to our debt.
BO is a fool to tout the lower deficit as an accomplishment.
